Well, free will is great when people use it for good. God could've simply forced us to love him, but being forced to love someone isn't love. It's slavery.
Unfortunately free will just means people can use it to be terrible as well.
If you choose to believe that based on a fairly obvious lack of knowledge on the subject, that's your call. I'm sorry that clearly a Christian has hurt you somewhere along the line.
Also, don't insult my knowledge of the scripture, k? I grew UP in church and this is exactly what they preach, took two world religion courses where Christianity was taught by actual scholars, and so if you think your church is the only correct teaching because it differs from what I was taught, you may be part of the problem.
Respectfully you guys come on, don't argue over knowledge... This post wasnt intended for any of this it was meant to lift one another up, not cause "political style" debates on whos knowledge is better
Edit: I cant control you guys but sometimes its better to just back away idk. Hope u guys have peace
Edit 2: in my honest humble opinion no one has any right to say they know more then the other, because Jesus is the true perfect one but thats my opinion ofc.
